The book titled ""The Justices Act Of 1886, 50 Victoriae, No. 17: And The Offenders Probation Act Of 1886, 50 Victoriae, No. 14 (1887)"" by John Laskey Woolcock is a legal text that provides a detailed account of two important acts passed in 1886 by the Parliament of Victoria, Australia. The first act, The Justices Act, outlines the powers and duties of justices of the peace in Victoria, including their jurisdiction over criminal and civil matters. It also establishes the procedures for the appointment and removal of justices, and sets out the rules for conducting court proceedings.The second act, The Offenders Probation Act, introduces a new sentencing option for criminal offenders in Victoria. Under this act, judges and magistrates are authorized to suspend the sentence of a convicted offender and place them on probation instead. The probation period typically lasts for a specified period, during which the offender must comply with certain conditions, such as attending counseling sessions or refraining from criminal behavior. If the offender successfully completes the probation period, the sentence is considered to have been served, and they are released from further punishment.The book provides a comprehensive analysis of these two acts, including their historical context, legislative intent, and practical application. It also includes commentary from legal experts and case law examples to illustrate how the acts have been interpreted and applied over time. This book is an essential resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the history and development of criminal justice in Victoria, Australia.With An Introduction, Notes, And Index.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
